Newcastle Experience Survey
NEW: A vision for education and skills at Newcastle University: Education for Life 2030+
Newcastle Experience Survey is open from 24th February - 28th April 2026
The Newcastle Experience Survey runs every year for undergraduate students who are not in their final year. It’s an opportunity to share your thoughts about your time at Newcastle University so far, what you’ve enjoyed and what could be improved. Your feedback helps Newcastle University understand what’s working well and identify areas where we can make positive changes across courses, departments, and student support services.
Take a few minutes to have your say—it really makes a difference!
Supporting the Newcastle Experience Survey
There is a central promotion campaign, including weekly emails, campus pop-up stalls, posters, and student incentives including campus coffee vouchers and Co-op gift cards.
Alongside this, support from schools is essential in encouraging students to take part.
